The Next Senate.

lShlCdeO DtEdlu-l
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Upon the
assembling OF the senate on the first
Monday in December that body will con-
sist OF fifty ''hold-ovcr" senators, as
twenty.si x newly chosen senators will
then present themselves for qualification.
The anomaly is presented that, of these
fifty senators, twenty FIVE are Republicans
and twenty-five are Democrats, So that
upon primary organization the two poriti
cal parties are equally divided. Twenty
hive of these senators are chosen for the
full term of six years, and one senator
William r. Chandler, of New Hampshire
has been elected to fill the uuexpired
term of the late Senator Pike, deceased,
terminating March 3, 1889. As the then
existing term of Senator Sherman, presi-
dent pro TEN. iof the senate, expired with
the forty-ninth congress, (although previ-
Ously reelected for an additional term),
and he could resume his seat until sworn
upon the re~assembly of the senate, he re-
signed the chair. and thereupon Senator
Ingalls,, Republican, of Kansas, was
chosen his successor. Hence Ingalls,
will hold the chair upon the reassembly
unless. as has occurred before, the posi-
bic absence of some Republican senator
shall operate TO break the tie" and
afford the Democrats opportunity to elect
a president pro tenn, if he shall only serve
in that capacity one day or until the new
senators are qualified, and the Republican
majority Of two, counting Mr.. Riddleber-
ger, of Virginia, shall choose one of their
own number. Secretary BaYard, of Della
ware, the present secretary of state, held
the position three days under similar cir.
cumstances when the senate was convened
in extraordinary session by President Ar
thur, in October, 1881, shortly after Pres
ident Garfeld's death.
The new hedged senators aressMessrs.
Bate, of Tennessee; Blodgett, of New
Jersey; Chandler, of New Hampshire;
Daniel. of Virginia; Davis, Of Minnesota;
Hearst, of California: Hiscock, of New
York; Paddock, of Nebraska; Pasco, of
Florida; Quay, of Pennsylvania; Reagan,
of Texas; Stewart, of Nevada: Stock
bridge, of Michigan, and Turpie, of In
diana. OF these Messrs. Hearst, Pad
dock, Stewart and Turpie served previ-
ously in the senatorial body, while
MeSsrs. Daniel, Hiscock and Reagan at
tanned distinction as members of the
house of representatives. Messrs Bate
and Davis are ex-gOyernors of their re-
spective states, and Mr.. Chandler is an
~ex.cabinet official.

A Slight Difference.

An East Nineteenth street residence is
provided with two improved thermometers
which accurately indicate the temperature
One of the instruments is stationed neal
the front door, while its mate hangs at
the rear of the house. Yesterday the
thermometer exposed to the northern gale
and the shade indicated to the inquisitive
that the temperature in that vicinity was
100 below zero. A walk of a few feet and
a view Of the other mercury receptacle
would almost disabuse one of the idea
that yesterday was a cold day, for in the
second thermometer the mercury was so
above zero,

Booth and Barrett.

~PITTsBURG, Nov. 26.-Lawrence Bar
rett, the tragedian, stated to a reporter
to-day that a trip to England with Mr..
Booth was contemplated, but that the
visit would be very brief. Regarding
the IN that the two tragedians would
erect a thaater in New York for the ex-
elusive production Of the legitimate
drama, Mr.. Barrett said: 1t is true"
We have in contemplation the erection of
of a metropolitan theater, although not
exclusively for the legitimate drama. 1t
will be at least two years before the
scheme can he contaminated, but when it
is all sorts of pure and meritorious works
will be produced. "

An incident which occurred at a Chey-
enne & Burlington surfacing camp yester-
day morning evidences that work on the
line is being pushed with all possible
speed. Eight men who refused to work
on account of the severe weather were
discharged, and a man dispatched to
Cheyenne to fill their places. The entire
matter assumed a comical air when seven
of the eight men returned to the camp.

81. 1000 school bonds he carried away with
him, still leaving a deficit of 500, 900 in
